Very cool. Another one to add to my want list. Can't wait to see more.

 

Though Charltons were pretty lackluster in the late 60s and into the 70s, some of their earlier works were top notch. Add in Steve Ditko art on some, and there are some excellent comics that rivaled any of the competition. Some of my favorites!

I grew up in a small farming community so the comics that were available at the grocery and drug stores in my hometown were the standard DC/Marvel/Archie issues.

 

But when we would go on vacation or a day trip sometimes we would stop at a convenience store like 7-11 in the "big" town of Fresno and that's when I would come across stuff I didn't usually see.

 

It was on one of those stops that I picked this up, my one and only Charlton off the rack. I didn't usually go for the funny animal stuff but there was something about the company logo and the art style that spoke to me. And I remember the story actually being fairly decent too.
